Product Costing and Decision Analysis for a Service Company
Pleasant Stay Medical Inc. wishes to determine its product costs. Pleasant Stay offers a variety of medical procedures (operations) that are considered its “products.” The overhead has been separated into three major activities. The annual estimated activity costs and activity bases follow:
Activity
Budgeted Activity Cost
Activity Base
Scheduling and admitting
$432,000
Number of patients
Housekeeping
4,212,000
Number of patient days
Nursing
5,376,000
Weighted care unit
Total costs
$10,020,000
Total “patient days” are determined by multiplying the number of patients by the average length of stay in the hospital. A weighted care unit (wcu) is a measure of nursing effort used to care for patients. There were 192,000 weighted care units estimated for the year. In addition, Pleasant Stay estimated 6,000 patients and 27,000 patient days for the year. (The…

In addition, Pleasant Stay estimated 6,000 patients and 27,000 patient days for the year. (The average patient is expected to have a a little more than a four-day stay in the hospital.) During a portion of the year, Pleasant Stay collected patient information for three selected procedures, as follows: Private insurance reimburses the hospital for these activities at a fixed daily rate of 406 per patient day for all three procedures. Instructions Determine the activity rates. Determine the activity cost for each procedure. Determine the excess or deficiency of reimbursements to activity cost. Interpret your results.arrow_forwardSupport activity cost allocation Kizzles Crepes Co. produces world famous crepes. The companys crepes are produced via its Mixing and Cooking activities, which both rely on the Janitorial and Maintenance activities. Kizzles management knows the most practical driver of Janitorial costs is square feet, but is uncertain whether to allocate Maintenance costs based on asset value of production equipment, number of service calls, or machine hours. Kizz1es management estimates that the Cooking and Mixing activities each require about twice as much space as the Maintenance activity. Instructions 1. What factors should Kizzles management consider in choosing the driver to use for the allocation of Maintenance costs? Of the three potential drivers mentioned in the problem, which one(s) should Kizz1es most likely not use? 2. Assume that Kizzles management allocates Maintenance costs based on the number of service calls. Further assume that in a given period, the Janitorial, Mixing, and Cooking activities incur 16, 40, and 24 service calls, respectively, and that the Janitorial and Maintenance costs of that period are 3,000 and 4,200, respectively. Determine the total costs allocated from each support activity to the other three activities using the reciprocal services method. 3. Kizz1es Crepes Co. is expanding rapidly due to its exponentially growing sales and popularity. Kizzles management is worried that as the company expands, its current method of support activity cost allocation, the reciprocal services method, may become too burdensome. Is this true? If so, what alternative method should Kizzles Crepes Co. use as it expands?arrow_forwardBounce Back Insurance Company carries three major lines of insurance: auto, workers compensation, and homeowners. The company has prepared the following report: Management is concerned that the administrative expenses may make some of the insurance lines unprofitable. However, the administrative expenses have not been allocated to the insurance lines.

The following data have been compiled: Requirement 1 Koehler expects to produce 200,000 basic models and 200,000 professional models. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rates using activity-based costing. How much overhead is allocated to the basic model? To the professional model?
